Acupuncture is a medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat and prevent illness for over 2000 years. It is thought to have originated in China and has its roots in ancient Taoist traditions. At HAC, we combine this ancient tradition with current day research and scientific understanding of how Acupuncture affects the body. Modern Acupuncture is performed by inserting fine needles into specific points along the body that has been shown to locally relieve pain, relieve muscle tension, move fascia, and globally effect how the brain both functions and interprets bodily signals.

Over the years, Dejota has developed a well-rounded experience in treating everyone from infants to elders for a multitude of conditions.

In addition to his private practice, he also spent over five years seeing patients at a retirement home as part of a multidisciplinary team to treat depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal, neurological, cardiological, and water metabolism issues.

He likes to meet the patient where they are at and uses his tools of acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, guasha, tuina, and lifestyle advice to help find balance so the body can heal itself. He also teaches qigong, taiji, bagua, meditation and lectures on Chinese medicine, healthy living, and stress reduction.
